Sources et Nature

Sources & Nature is an outdoor activity provider based in the Ain, near the Jura, offering guided canyoning and aquatic hiking in the region’s rivers and gorges. Led by a state-certified guide with more than 20 years of experience, the company welcomes beginners, families and more experienced participants on outings tailored to their abilities and interests. Routes include canyons in the Ain and Jura, such as Chaley, Tréfond-Pernaz, the Sémine, Grosdar, Malvaux and Coiserette.

Activities combine natural pools, swimming, optional jumps and slides, with rappelling on some routes. Easier aquatic hikes offer a gentler introduction, without requiring rappelling, and can include explanations about local wildlife, plants and ecosystems. The outings suit family days, groups of friends, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and team-building activities. Some routes are available to children from around six or seven years old, depending on the outing and the child’s size and weight. Quality safety equipment is provided, and online booking is available. The season generally runs from early March to late November, subject to weather conditions.
